Robotization: Robots to Replace or Serve Lawyers?

Congress Centre, conference hall D2
Digitalization: The Law of the Future or the Future of the Law?
Broadcast
As a professional field, jurisprudence is not under immediate threat from the development of robotics and artificial intelligence. However, processes related to drafting procedural documents are being automated, legal assistance is being provided using chatbots, and digital constructors are being developed. These and other solutions employing artificial intelligence raise questions about the place and role of these technologies as the legal profession evolves. Artificial intelligence is unlikely to be able to replace a lawyer. However, in the future, lawyers will need to possess expertise in information technology in order to hold a decisive advantage in the legal services market. Today, the automation of legal processes in public administration raises a number of questions regarding technology security and control. To what extent will lawyers without skills in the digital sphere be in demand? What steps need to be taken to build a system of legal functions which could be automated and fulfilled using robotics and artificial intelligence? Today, a great many legal documents are prepared using artificial intelligence. What role should the government play in terms of legally regulating these processes? Should a state monopoly have the role of building special systems for automating legal processes? What legal liability is borne by decisions taken by artificial intelligence?
